Abandoned for over Twenty years in the frozen docks of Frostdock, Dante DeLuca is finally brought home to the DeLuca family—the most powerful dynasty in Shadowport. To his snobbish sister, scheming adopted brother Silas, and his arrogant fiancée Valentina, he is nothing but a "useless Beta": a shifter with no beast form, mocked with torn hand-me-downs and locked in a servant's room by the garbage dump.
They have no idea that the boy they humiliate is an SSS-rank Snow Wolf Alpha—the apex predator whose aura breaks every detector in the underworld. Silently logging every insult in his "DeLuca Family Journal," Dante waits. Until the night of the Twelve-Family Summit, when he makes one call to the Ice Sea King himself, calls off a deal worth a fortune, and unleashes his colossal white wolf shadow upon the entire hall. "He's not a Beta! He's SSS-rank!"
